Yeah, he probably is a little paranoid. But for good reason!!!!!

He has to live in this sue everyone world too. He has to look out for himself and his business that he has invested so much money and time into. You have to remember that the last person that had their hands on your gun and did work on it can be held liable if you or any one else, for some reason, shoots off your or their foot because the trigger was set too light. Wether it was your own stupidity or not, in the eyes of the jury, he is the one that adjusted the trigger and made the gun unsafe.

All gunsmiths are different and many just prefer to be on the safe side even if it means that they loose $50 for not doing a small trigger adjustment.

As far as the minimum $50 goes that isn' t too unheard of. Time is money and you are paying for his time and expertise.

Don' t knock him just because he won' t adjust a trigger down to 1.5 pounds. He may very well be a very compitent gunsmith. Sounds like he would rather make absolutly sure that a gun is safe than send it out the door and someone get hurt. Another thing to remember is that he doesn' t know you from Joe Blow and sure doesn' t know how responsible you are with fire arms.

Sorry but I am on the side of the gunsmith.
